| Movie Review :: Barney's Version (2011) (R) - Associated Content Posted: 18 Jan 2011 12:09 AM PST Part of what makes Barney's Version so absorbing is that it's intentionally told from an unreliable point of view. Much of the last thirty-five years of Barney Panofsky's life unfold over the course of Panofsky, a role that earned Paul Giamatti a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a musical or comedy (genres that don't apply here), may be one of the most realistic characters of any recent film. This is because his life, as is the case with everyone's life, doesn't work on a story arc, and his personality doesn't remain consistent. He's a man of deep flaws; he smokes a few too many cigars, spends a few too many nights drunk, watches a few too many hockey games away from home, can be venomously honest in the heat of anger, and is impulsive with who he falls in love with. But he isn't without his redeeming qualities; while far from the world's greatest husband or father, there is genuine love for his children and third wife, who he met and fell in love with the day he married his second wife.
